    Ovarian Cancer has been known as the silent killer because it’s symptoms are so insidious. But over the years researchers have asked ovarian cancer patients what symptoms told them that something was wrong, and they have compiled a list of symptoms that seemed pretty universal, especially lower abdominal bloating, profound fatigue, and the inability to eat.

I want to add to this that my mother received a diagnosis of multiple myeloma back in 2004. As she complained more and more of being tired and losing her appetite, we thought it was the myeloma advancing. And even though she was regularly going to her oncologist and getting blood work and tests that showed the myeloma was only slowly progressing, none of the professionals EVER MENTIONED THAT IT MIGHT BE A DIFFERENT CANCER. NO ONE MENTIONED OR LOOKED FOR OVARIAN CANCER.

And maybe if we had all LISTENED to what mom was actually saying instead of assuming it was all in her head or part of the myeloma, we could have caught this sooner.

Know the warming signs and listen to your sisters, mothers and ourselves.
